[Smt-talk] Jonathan Kramer's "The Time of Music"

[Nicolas Meeùs]

There are books available on IMSLP, e.g. Schenker's /Harmonielehre 
/(http://imslp.org/wiki/Harmonielehre_%28Schenker,_Heinrich%29), said 
there to be "public domain", which I doubt so far as Europe is concerned.

There may be better depositories for books, though, such as 
http://www.archive.org, or http://www.gutenberg.org/, which already 
offer quite a lot in the field of music theory and probably are better 
equipped than IMSLP to produce searchable documents. The pdf version of 
Schenker's /Harmonielehre /available on IMSLP is not searchable, while 
that on www.archive.org is. The reason probably is that the latter has 
been scanned in a library (Boston Public Library) equipped with OCR 
facilities. Unfortunately, OCR is hardly available for many languages 
(including German in /Fraktur/ printing).
